Let and . Let and be two lines. If the line passes through the point of intersection of and and is parallel to , then passes through the point :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Write the given lines in coordinate form
Given
So, Hence the parametric equations of are
Also, Hence the parametric equations of are
- Find the point of intersection of and
At the intersection, coordinates must be equal:
From (3),
Substitute into (1): Therefore,
Check in (2): so it is consistent.
Thus the intersection point is
- Find the direction vector of
is parallel to . So,
Hence passes through and has direction vector . Therefore,
Its parametric form is
- Check which option lies on
We test each option.
Option A:
From , Then correct, and So A does not lie on .
Option B:
From , Then So B does not lie on .
Option C:
From , Then Both match. So C lies on .
Option D:
From , Then correct, but So D does not lie on .
- Final answer
The required point is So the correct option is C.
